Gene: PDGFC
Alternate names for this Gene: FALLOTEIN|SCDGF
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. The four members of this family are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and are characterized by a core motif of eight cysteines. This gene product appears to form only homodimers. It differs from the platelet-derived growth factor alpha and beta polypeptides in having an unusual N-terminal domain, the CUB domain. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 4
Location in Chromosome : 4q32.1
Description of this Gene: platelet derived growth factor C
Type of Gene: protein-coding
